Triple poster. 1988. The central section of the poster includes three slogans. At the top a banner reads in translation: 'Day of Physical Labour'. Around the central figure of a woman running, her arms stretched out behind her, is a phrase which reads in translation:'Be ready for Labour and defence of the USSR'. In larger script at the bottom of the centre panel of poster the slogan translates as: 'Exercise muscles through sport! Prepare your body for the fight!'.
